Exo-terra monsoon

[DonLisk]

I wonder if something just got messed up with the electronics and when you pulled the plug and powered down the system it reset itself. How did it run after the initial spray cycle?

Not sure, I'm going to set it up in the morning for 8 hour runs and for 20 seconds so when I get home it should just be going off.

Well, 13 hours and it has not cycled yet. Set it up at 8am to run every 12 hours so I'll have to road trip back to the store this weekend and hope they have one in stock to exchange it.

Don,

How is your replacement unit working? Mine is still working fine. Has anyone located a source for the extra noozles for the Monsoon? I would like to also mist my new 55 gallon viv which is just about completed.

The replacement is running fine so far. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I haven't heard anything on nozzles and was going to call Black Jungle since any 1/4 inch spray nzzle should work with the system.

I would think since it will operate up to 6 nozzles, Exo would offer up 4 and 6 nozzle splltters.

Mike.... Black Jungle informed me that Exo-Terra plans to have splitters and nozzles available by March... keeping fingers crossed.

I also changed my spray to every 4 hours and 20 seconds after seeing how damp Black Jungle kept their vivs. Just gotta pay attention to what plants are getting wet down so I don't over water the fern and air plants.

That is good news on the new spliters. I keep adjusting my setup to keep the hunidity around 99 percent. Currently I spray every 6 hours for 15 seconds. I have to keep a eye on the mini orchid attached to the branch so it is not always wet. I already see new roots emerging so that is a good sign. I picked that orchid up at Lowes for 2.99. The pot was damaged so it was on clearence.

Nice. My creeping fig was already attached to the substrate so I had to unroot it to get the new additions to the tank.
Pics tomorrow :-)
